Event summary
Join us for the 26th Annual Remembrance Walk on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in Omaha, Douglas, at the beautiful new venue, The Prairie at Millwork Commons.

Organiser's description
Please join us at a new venue this year, in-person in The Prairie at Millwork Commons, or virtually at the location of your choice! Gather with us to remember and celebrate the legacy of your loved one(s). This event is open to all grievers regardless of relationship to the deceased and time since the death. We come together as a community because no one should feel like they have to carry their grief alone. For more than 20 years we have seen that, "Together, hope grows."
This event is celebratory and family friendly. The Remembrance Walk will be at your own pace at your own timing along a designated route. Grab your team, a loved one, or come on your own as we spend time honoring those who are no longer physically with us.
Can't attend in-person? Join us virtually from the location of your choice.
